Chapter 86

A Prayer of David.

1

BOW down your ear, O Yahuah, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

2

Guard my soul; for I am holy: O Elohai, save your servant that trusts in you.

3

Be merciful unto me, O Adonai: for I cry unto you daily.

4

Rejoice the soul of your servant: for unto you, O Adonai, do I lift up my soul.

5

For you, Adonai, are good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon you.

6

Give ear, O Yahuah, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

7

In the day of my trouble I will call upon you: for you will answer me.

8

Among the elohiym there is none like unto you, O Adonai; neither are there any works like unto your works.

9

All nations whom you have made shall come and worship before you, O Adonai; and shall glorify your name.

10

For you are great, and do wondrous things: you are Elohiym alone.

11

Teach me your way, O Yahuah; I will walk in your Truth: unite my heart to fear your name.

12

I will praise you, O Adonai Elohai, with all my heart: and I will glorify your name forevermore.

13

For great is your mercy toward me: and you have delivered my soul from the lowest She'ol.

14

O Elohiym, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set you before them.

15

But you, O Adonai, are an El full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

16

O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give your strength unto your servant, and save the son of your handmaid.

17

Show me a sign for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because you, Yahuah, have helped me, and comforted me.
